(I never got around to whipping up my own.) Although somewhat pricey at $15.99 for 8 oz.—compared with, say $5.99 for 18 oz. of something in its class by St. Ives—the moisturizer gets a low hazard score of 0.3 by the Environmental Working Group, while St. Ives’ range of bath and body products get hazard scores ranging from a moderate 1.6, to a danger-Will-Robinson 4.1. because of potentially cancer-causing parabens and other chemicals I have trouble pronouncing.

I've been using sweet almond oil straight up, applying as soon as I've dried off after a shower. What does the honey do? Does it make it more effective on super dry skin? Or is it more to make it thick and spreadable? If you know, then let me know! Have you made this? I’ve been using sweet almond oil straight up, applying as soon as I’ve dried off after a shower.
